Firstly, I apologise for telling you something you probably already know but I’m a long way away from the U.S.A. James Fenimore Cooper wrote ‘The Last Of The Mohicans’. A film was produced in the 1990s based on the book. Magua was one of the characters in the book. The actor Wes Studi made the role powerful and menacing. This is my attempt to portray him and to hope I have done him justice. It is 8″ x 7″ on no-name paper all done with one black F/C polychromos pencil. My old camera is not too good but I hope you get the idea. Comments are welcome.
Drawing is actually darker. Oh well.

March 12, 2018 at 11:27 am #583114An excellent portrayal, Graham, of this character! I remember reading that book growing up, very interesting.

Your work is impressive. The hair, especially, and the indication of his left eye.April 23, 2018 at 11:30 am #583125I didn’t see the movie but I definitely recognize Wes Studi. Very good drawing!
